Podcasts about Tartarus

There is a prison beneath the earth — and it's currently occupied. When fallen angels abandoned their heavenly domain and crossed into the physical world in Genesis 6, God didn't let them roam free. He chained them in Tartarus, a word the New Testament uses only once, reserved specifically for this judgment. Are we approaching the moment those chains come off? In this episode, Lance Wallnau unpacks what the Bible actually says about the Watchers — the angels who left heaven, cohabited with women, and produced the Nephilim. This isn't speculation. It's in Jude, in 2 Peter, and in the ancient Hebrew literature the disciples themselves read. Lance connects this ancient rebellion directly to modern AI, transhumanism, and the coming global system the Bible calls the mark of the beast — and explains why Jesus came to undo THREE rebellions, not just one. In this episode: * The 4 rebellions in Genesis most pastors never preach * What Tartarus actually is — and why God used it specifically for the Watchers * Michael Heiser's research connecting ancient Hebrew texts to the UFO/alien phenomenon * Lucifer's role in Eden BEFORE his fall — and the kill switch God built into him * Why the Tower of Babel was an occult portal, not just a construction project * The AI/nanotechnology connection Lance saw coming 30–40 years ago This is the unseen realm study that rewires how you read your Bible.

A spirit older than Israel is back — and it's broadcasting through your favorite podcasts. Alex Jones is calling for the 25th Amendment on Trump. Candace Owens is questioning Zionism. Tucker is platforming voices that quietly teach Christians to hate the Jews. None of it happened overnight. It was nibbled in, one "what about" at a time. Why are so many trusted conservative voices suddenly turning on the very leaders they once defended? Lance Wallnau breaks open Matthew 24:11 and reveals a Jezebel pattern hiding in plain sight across social media — the same spirit of manipulation, intimidation, and domination that emasculated Ahab and now sells outrage by the click. What spirit is profiting every time you share their video? In this episode: * The 4 "courageous voices" Lance names — and the incremental deception that turned them * Why a "false prophet" in the end times isn't who you think (and almost never wears a collar) * The Jezebel/Ahab pairing destroying Europe — and showing up in American media * Where Jesus REALLY went for 3 days between the cross and the resurrection (it isn't where you were taught) * The pit called Tartarus, the Nephilim, and the angels chained from Noah's day * 2 Peter 2 decoded: "in their greed they will exploit you" — the verse that names the click economy 2,000 years early * The "flaming dart" attack pattern — how to recognize when witchcraft is targeting your emotions * Why Christians who keep "nibbling" the hashish brownie end up with cold love (Matthew 24:12) If you've felt your trust in everyone collapsing, your emotions on fire, and your head spinning over the news — this is the diagnosis you've been missing.

Join Southwest Radio Ministries and  Watchman on the Wall. As Lise Cutshaw and Micah Van Huss connect the dots between the English word "hell" and the differing locations that "hell" actually depicts in the Hebrew and Greek. Micah describes the differences between biblical Sheol, Tartarus and Gehenna and who dwells there; hints at Jesus' connection with these underworld locations; and leaves us – mysteriously – with a teaser about angels and demons and their roles in the underworld.

UNIVERSAL REDEMPTION  I asked last week what went wrong with the gospel, quoting Paul who wrote concerning a wrong gospel saying there are some who trouble you (tarasso - to strike one's spirit with fear and dread - Galatians 1:7). He says they want to reverse (metastepho) the gospel. Since the time of Christ, a World population of almost 70 billion people has existed, and how many people have heard the true gospel? I believe certain English words have been prejudicially translated from the original language that have altered the nature of the gospel and reversed our perception of a loving saving God. And we will look at some of those words today. And how has that affected our current global Western culture relationally and morally 2Peter 3:9 The Lord…is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (metanoia – a change of mindset). I am proposing that the trajectory of Scripture presents God's judgment as ultimately restorative rather than purely retributive, and that words and concepts traditionally interpreted as eternal punishment may instead work through age-to-age judgment, truth, and revelation until human creation is brought into alignment with God. I am arguing that God's redemptive power and purpose is not ultimately defeated by human resistance.  Philippians 3:21 He will transform our lowly body (tapein??sis – lowly estate) that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. I would like to personally query three aspects of the nature of the gospel today. This will take more than one session. Is God's nature one of loving restoration or retributive punishment? What is hell and judgement and the consequence of sin? What is eternity? I perceive God as a divine architect who has designed a relational home where he might enjoy loving relationship with his human family, for them to find utter fulfillment in his company. The home was built on a foundation of love and peace and order. Then the foundation became destructively cracked and flawed by the pride and disorder of Satan. Immediately following that the damaged foundation was built upon with inadequate flawed human material and it has crumpled and subsided time after time. Then a new divine/human foundation was laid which was Christ and a new creation was invited to build upon this new foundation of love and peace and order. The home was made to be filled and not emptied, so the flawed foundation had to be fully restored, and the flawed human material had to be fully redeemed so that it could be filled.  In Matthew 22 a King prepared a feast for his son, and most of the invited guests were too busy or distracted to turn up, but he wanted his house filled with guests for his son so sent his servants out and they ended up having to invite people from the highways and byways, both bad and good. And the house was filled. God wants a full house. The highways and byways people can be seen as ‘fringe people' The edge or fringe becomes the meeting place of exclusion and inclusion in Scripture, and examples include Ruth as an outsider being included in Israel through marrying Boaz, and the gentile woman who touched the fringe of Jesus' garment and was healed. It is also typified in the priestly garments and the boundary materials of the tabernacle. And even one of the wedding guest fringe people resisted and was cast into outer darkness for not wearing a wedding garment and I'll cover that redemption theme at another time. I believe the plan for God's house being filled was designed before time began, and what follows in real time is restoration and the events of purifying and restoration in the history of human life.  2a. The nature of sin and its consequences – The common established belief is that Sin separates us from God and that sin can finally result in going to hell. The following Scripture is commonly taken to mean that if you believe in Jesus, you will not perish (go to hell) but you will receive eternal life (go to Heaven). John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 2b. The names implying what hell is are Hades, Gehenna, Lake of fire, Tartarus, Sheol and even Outer darkness. Hades (O.T. Sheol), does not really describe the place of eternal torment. It described the realm that is not visible to the living (ha – not and ideis – seen) the unseen, the hidden, what lies beyond the horizon of the living. It occurs in the Epistles once in Revelation, where it is done away with to no longer exist.  Jesus spoke of Gehenna, the Valley of Hinnom in Jerusalem where the fire of spontaneous combustion destroys the rubbish which symbolizes the judgment and destruction of sinful corruption (also James 3 re the tongue and corrupt speech). I've seen Smokey Mountain on a missionary trip to the Philippines with 2 young people. Thousands lived ther and made a living there scavenging what was not consumed by the fire. The epistles interpret the concept of fire as a process of transformation where God's fire removes what is of the flesh so that life in Christ remains. I'm proposing that the nature of fire called hell is purifying and corrective discipline rather than retributive punishment.  We will get to the others later…Lake of fire …Tartarus…Outer darkness… I have already compared Jonathan Edward's sermon of ‘sinners in the hands of an angry God with the writings of Athanasius in 350 AD. Edwards said ‘Why should God love you because you have never loved him'. The apostle John answers that - ‘We love him because he first loved us' (1John 4.18).  Athanasius wrote that Jesus died out of sheer love for us so that… he might turn men again to incorruption who had turned back to corruption and make them alive through death… and by the grace of his resurrection thus he would make death to disappear from them as utterly as straw from fire. The refining fire of God's love is the divine method for transformation because it looks forward to what is possible and applies the purifying trials of faith to get there. Punishment and retribution look backward at what was done and demand payment to what seems to be to no good end. The fire of judgment in this truth is not the satisfaction of divine wrath; it is the completion of divine purpose - and redemption is the restoration of what was always meant to be. God's divine wrath is the intense indignation at what sin has done to cripple the souls of his children and it is aimed at the source of evil itself and not the victims of it. That indignation shakes whatever can be shaken to rid it from his children so that what remains cannot be shaken – the Kingdom life within. And whatever evil or darkness we harbour in our own lives will get shaken from our ignorant or resistant grasp for our own sake and those around us.  Hebrews 12:1… let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith… do not despise the chastening of the LORD…He does that for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; Paul says that as a wise master builder (architekt??n) he has laid the foundation. 1Cor 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. This purifying fiery judgement and Hades, and Gehenna all overlap but some are used more as warnings than encouragement. 1 Corinthians 3:13–15 distinguishes between the work and the worker. The work may be tested and found wanting, may be burned away as wood, hay, or straw. But "he himself will be saved, though as through fire." The person passes through and the fire does not consume them - it consumes what was not them. With Peter the illustration is that as that seed grows through faith, the outer husk of the seed, our outer soul-self life, is burned away by the fiery trials of faith. 1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 1Timothy 5:24 some mens' sins go on beforehand to judgement and some they follow after. This means we can have the wood and straw burned off in this life or in the next age. The Greek word translated judgment – krisis, throughout the New Testament primarily means decision and judgment. The word carries the act of separating, sifting, distinguishing. A crisis is the decisive moment, the point at which the true nature of something becomes apparent and that can clearly involve adverse outcomes.  The Bible uses the following words; krisis  judgment, decision, evaluation and accountability. kolasis Matthew 25:46 - corrective pruning (like trimming a tree) paideia Hebrews 12 - discipline, training of a child  dike – Justice and being weighed in the balance. Judgment is not retaliatory destruction, but a process that exposes, purifies, and restores. Even the judgment in the apocalyptic vision of Revelation which we will look at in later sessions is about sifting, not retribution, so the pattern holds even at the level of judgment itself. But is the redemption payment enough for all mankind? Did the work of Jesus do enough to satisfy his Father that he paid for the lives of all of God's created children? Supposing a child was kidnaped and the parent had to pay a $100,000 ransom. Does a parent say ‘look I can manage $50,000 but 100 is too much – and then walk away? In the Jewish Seder ceremony of Passover, the father takes three matzahs or flat pieces of bread and breaks the middle one in half. He hides half of the middle matzah, called the afikomen, somewhere in the house and the children go through the house searching for the hidden half. When it is found and returned the father gives the winning child a ‘ransom' – possibly a radical prophetic picture blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in (Romans 11:25) Jesus being half taken out of sight for Israel but fully seen by those who have eyes of faith to see him. The broken middle matzah can be seen as a picture of hiddenness, brokenness, and the later revealing and restoration of Christ as our redeemer. What is broken and hidden is not lost—but sought, redeemed, revealed, and finally received as indwelling life. 3. The nature of eternity and age to age.  The Scriptures use the word eternity, but biblical eternity also means age-to-age unfolding with purposeful beginnings and meaningful completions of participation in the life of God and ongoing revelation. The Wycliffe Bible (1382) translated from the Latin Vulgate inherited the Latin aeternus, not the Greek ai?n and age to age ai?nios. The King James Version (1611) Standardised “eternal and everlasting” and cemented this meaning in English-speaking Christianity. Old Testament eternity = olam = Horizon. The theological impact was that Judgment or age-to age correction and purification was replaced by eternal punishment. And the meaning of living in the life of the age to come vaguely became eternal life in heaven instead of God's purposes across the ages. Jesus reveals the Jubilee Year as a striking model for full redemption.  Luke 4:17 Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 61:1). And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD."  Then He closed the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He said to them Today you have heard this Scripture fulfilled." You will notice that after Jesus proclaimed the The Jubilee Year - he closed the Book, and there was a special reason for that. The next sentence in Isaiah 61 that he would have read said ‘and to proclaim the day of vengeance of our God'. But that was not what Jesus came to do. ‘For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17) The Jubilee year spoke of the greatest fulfillment of what might have been. This was the year of being given God's rest and blessing and provision for their lives both individually and as a people of God. It was the year when all work of any kind had to cease, debts were forgiven, Leviticus 25 says and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family and the slaves were given their freedom, and the families were to celebrate the blessings of being God's children. He also included Gentiles like the widow of Zarephath, Naaman the Syrian, but they could not absorb the implication of his supernatural promise to fulfill the Jubilee for all time for all the world. For them this was the sacred architecture of the meaning of full restorative redemption. It was the too good to be true promise of a too loving to be true God. That was Jesus. That was a little over 2000 years ago – 40 jubilees since Jesus (40x50 = 2000). The number 40 speaks of the time of trials for Israel in the wilderness, and the forty days of temptation in the wilderness for Jesus, and his forty days of resurrected life on earth before his ascension. His vision was corporate, complete, and eschatological with redeemed humans having universal restoration held out to them by the Prince of Peace. But this annoyed them, so they tried to throw him off a cliff. Good news sometimes gets resisted. Amen. Paul OSullivan   pauloss@me.com

Every Easter Sunday, pastors around the world deliver the same message: Jesus rose from the grave. And that is absolutely true. But today we are not talking about Sunday morning. We are talking about Saturday. What was happening in the realm of the dead during those three days while the disciples hid, the soldiers stood guard, and the world assumed evil had won? The answer is something you have almost certainly never heard from any pulpit, any pastor, or any religious speaker — ever. This is the Harrowing of Hell.SERMON TRANSCRIPT: https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-harrowingofhell“What The Heck Is a Nephilim” episode: https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-whattheheckisanephilim/“The Jerusalem Zombie Incident” episode: https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-zombies/Weird Darkness® and Church Of The Undead™ are trademarked.

Trapped deep within Tartarus, the RAIN are forced to move as the prison closes in around them. A hidden chamber offers answers—but what waits inside is something that was never meant to exist. When the moment comes, not every choice feels like victory. 

The deeper levels of Tartarus hold more than abandoned cells and crumbling stone. As the RAIN search through what was left behind, fragments of an older story begin to emerge—one the prison was never meant to remember. 

 The island prison looms over Magna Bay, and the RAIN find a way inside that no guard expects. Down in the forgotten levels of Tartarus, the stone remembers things the city has tried to bury. And somewhere in the dark, someone is still moving.

There are ten different words, or phrases used to represent hell, and each has their separate meaning and place. Sheol, Hades, and the Pit all represent the place where people exist currently. Gehenna, the Lake of Fire, and outer darkness represent the future hell where people will go after the Great White Throne Judgment Day. Satan and most likely his demons with him are cast into the lake of fire as it says in Revelation. The words Abyss, Abyssos, Bottomless Pit, and Tartarus each represent where demons are currently assigned, each area perhaps having certain fallen angels and demons. Understand more about these words and places which refer to hell, as Bill and Annette biblically explain each.

The Phaedo is a beautiful dialogue! Join Deacon Harrison Garlick and Dr. Christopher Frey, McFarland Professor of Philosophy at the University of Tulsa, as they conclude their exploration of Plato's Phaedo, a profound dialogue capturing Socrates' final hours and his arguments for the soul's immortality. Reading schedule and more!Collection of guides on the great books!In this episode, Dcn. Garlick and Dr. Frey dive into the second half of the text (72e–118a), unpacking the recollection and affinity arguments, objections from Simmias and Cebes, the concept of misology, the final cause argument, the myth of the afterlife, and Socrates' enigmatic final words.Episode SegmentsRecollection Argument (72e–77a)Socrates argues that learning is recalling preexistent knowledge of forms: “Coming to know something… is actually recollecting.”Sense experience, like seeing equal sticks, triggers recollection of perfect forms.This suggests the soul exists before birth.The argument for forms is distinct from recollection.Affinity Argument (78b–80b)The soul resembles forms, being “divine, immortal, intelligible, uniform,” unlike the mutable body: “The body is… mortal, multiform, dissolvable.”Forms are simple and unchanging: “Beauty itself doesn't change… It would have to be something that isn't visible.”Riveting Image and the Philosophical Life (83d)Pleasures and pains “rivet the soul to the body and to weld them together."Socrates remains calm while others weep, embodying philosophical discipline: “He's the philosopher… They're too sunk, they're too mired in that bodily.”Objections by Simmias and Cebes (84c–88b)Simmias' harmony view posits the soul as an effect of bodily organization.Cebes' cloak objection suggests the soul may wear out: “Why couldn't there be a last time which… the soul does eventually wear out?”Socrates counters that the soul causes life, not the body.Misology and the Value of Argument (88c–89e)Socrates warns against misology, hating reasoned argument: “There's no greater evil one can suffer than to hate reasonable discourse.”Final Cause Argument (95b–107a)Socrates' autobiography reveals dissatisfaction with materialist explanations, seeking purpose.The soul's essential life ensures immortality: “The soul is alive itself in a way that it can't be taken away… As the fire cannot actually receive coldness, neither can the soul actually receive death.”Myth of the Afterlife (107d–114c)Describes a stratified earth with hollows and Tartarus.Souls face judgment or purgation.Details may not be literal but encourage virtue.Socrates' Death and Final Words (114d–118a)Socrates drinks hemlock, called a “pharmacon."Final words suggest death as healing: “Crito, we ought to offer a cock to Asclepius… The malady for which he wants to be cured is embodied life itself.”Inspires hope, especially for Christians: “If someone like Socrates… can enter it with this much fortitude… how much greater should our hope be?”Key TakeawaysThe Phaedo's arguments—recollection, affinity, and final cause—build a case for the soul's immortality, though not airtight, urging a philosophical life: “The philosophical life is one in which you have to be comfortable with...

We explore the realms of the Greek Underworld and what actually happens to a soul after death in ancient Greek belief.We break down the role of Hades and Persephone as rulers of the dead, the function of the Three Judges, and how souls are sorted into each realm. We also talk about who truly ends up in Tartarus and why it was not a place for the average person, but a punishment reserved for those that trick and disrespect the gods.

Send us a textA single detail at the cross changes everything: Jesus' bones were not broken. We follow that thread from Exodus 12:46 to the crucifixion and discover how the spotless Lamb fulfills the law with surgical precision. From there, we open a bigger conversation about decay, resurrection timing, and the promise of Psalm 16 that the Holy One would not see corruption—why the timeline around Lazarus matters, and how providence orchestrates what looks like chaos into exact fulfillment.The heart of the episode tackles a word problem that has misled countless readers: “hell” in English hides multiple biblical terms. We walk through Sheol and Hades as “the grave,” clarify Tartarus as the abyss where rebellious angels are held, and define Gehenna as the lake of fire—the final state where body and soul reunite for judgment. Along the way, we weigh Luke 16 and the rich man, thread it into Revelation 20's courtroom scene, and recover a grounded view of human nature as body and soul together. The goal isn't to win a jargon war; it's to keep the Gospel clear, the stakes honest, and our teaching faithful.We also wade into Genesis 6 with fresh eyes. Are the “sons of God” fallen angels producing giant hybrids, or is Scripture describing intermarriage and men of renown? We argue for a sober, text-driven reading that lines up with Jesus' teaching about angels and keeps biblical theology intact. Finally, we revisit what “angel” means—messenger—and why that helps make sense of Matthew 25's “devil and his angels.” Precision serves discipleship; careful words protect true hope. If you care about atonement, resurrection, judgment, and clear witness, this one will sharpen your toolkit and your confidence.If this helped clarify a few things you've always wondered about, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves word studies, and leave a review with the question you want us to tackle next.Support the show

Send us a textStart with the words we think we know: Nephilim, giants, fallen ones. We take a hard look at the Hebrew roots and the narrative context that shaped Genesis 6 and Numbers 13, asking whether “giants” points to sheer size or to men of renown—violent rulers, tyrants, and warrior elites who loomed large over their age. The spy report of “grasshoppers” sounds less like zoology and more like fear under pressure, and Goliath's stature becomes a lens for what “extraordinary” might mean without drifting into myth.From there, we draw the map most listeners never get in one place: Sheol and Hades as grave/realm-of-the-dead language, Tartarus as the abyss—the prison imagery of chains and darkness—and Gehenna as the post-resurrection lake of fire. We test the map against key passages: the rich man and Lazarus for conscious experience beyond burial, Jude 6 for bound angels awaiting judgment, Revelation's bottomless pit for the cosmic lockup, and 1 Peter 3:19 for Christ's proclamation to spirits in prison. Each step sharpens the difference between the intermediate state and final judgment, and why mixing these terms creates confusion about where bodies and spirits are now and where they will be.Our tone stays grounded and candid. We correct midstream, admit tensions, and mark open questions for a dedicated follow-up, because precision matters when talking about the unseen. If you care about biblical theology, semantic nuance, and how language shapes our view of the afterlife, this conversation will give you a clearer framework to study and discuss with others.

Send us a textWhat if the most misread line in Romans 10 isn't about hell at all—but about how close Christ already is? We take a hard look at “Who shall ascend?” and “Who shall descend?” and show why Paul's point is pastoral, not cartographical. From there, we unpack the dense vocabulary that often gets blended together: Hades and Sheol as the grave, Tartarus as a term tied to confinement and torment, Gehenna as final judgment, and paradise as the presence of the Lord. The result is a clean map of timing and terms that keeps the spotlight on faith's immediacy rather than on speculative afterlife geography.We also dig into the thorny questions listeners ask most: Where do bodies and spirits go between death and resurrection? Are Abraham's bosom and paradise the same? Did the raised saints in Matthew 27 receive glorified bodies? And how were Old Testament believers saved before the cross? Walking through Romans 3, we show how Christ's propitiation publicly declares God's righteousness for “sins that are past,” uniting every era under one gospel: grace through faith. Along the way, we explore why the Spirit's presence is not a New Testament novelty but the lifeblood of true faith across the ages.Expect clarity without jargon, careful attention to context, and a practical payoff: confidence that the word is near—on the lips and in the heart. If you've wrestled with the abyss, the grave, and the timing of judgment, this conversation offers categories sturdy enough to carry real-life faith. Listen, share with a friend who loves theology debates, and leave a review to tell us where you landed.Support the show

What are the mythic origins of Zeus, King of the Olympians, and the other Greek gods? From what period did the earliest of the Greek myths derive? Who was Hesiod - alongside Homer, the greatest of the Greek poets, and the father of European literature - who first recorded Zeus' story? When was the golden age of Greek myth? Who were the Titans, and why were they consigned to the fiery pit of Tartarus? Did different regions of Greece have different interpretations of the gods, and do these myths express something particular about ancient Greek culture? And, did people really believe in these famous stories of terrible gods, daring heroes, and great wars? Join Tom and Dominic as they plunge into the glorious, technicolour world of the Greek myths, starting with the tumultuous early life of Cronos, his son Zeus, the war between the gods and the Titans, and some of the most famous Greek heroes of all time - from Perseus to Hercules.  ______ Try Adobe Express for free now at https://www.adobe.com/uk/express/spotlight/designwithexpress?sdid=HM85WZZV&mv=display&mv2=ctv or by searching in the app store.

This is the full podcast of Midas, A Folly in Two Acts & an Epilogue, which was previously dropped as discrete episodes but is available now in its shimmering entirety! Everyone thinks they know the story of Midas and the Golden Touch, some even know the concomitant story of Midas and the Donkey Ears, but there is even more to know about this foollish king of Phrygia than those two stories.Why did Midas get the Golden Touch in the first place? What did that have to do with Dionysus the god and the satyr Silenus? And will Dan ever get paid?Why did Midas get the Donkey Ears? How was this, too, an instance of his foolishness? Was he a racist?How did Midas die in the end? Was he really punished through eternity in Tartarus for his sins?There is a reason this story is a classic as the material herein has multiple parallels to events and persons throughout history not to mention the present day. Enjoy, and thank you for tuning in.

Who is Satan really? Are UFOs ancient Nephilim technology? Why does the Bible say giants once walked the earth? In this clip from Nephilim Death Squad, Sean Griffin of Kingdom in Context reveals the shocking truth about fallen angels, the Nephilim, and how ancient cultures all worshiped the same gods under different names.We dig into the mysteries of Satan's true identity, the strange link between UFOs and biblical prophecy, and why mainstream churches ignore the supernatural side of scripture. This conversation will challenge what you thought you knew about the Bible, prophecy, and the hidden history of mankind.

AFTER BEING imprisoned for a thousand years, Satan returns and leads “the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle”. Is this Armageddon or a second war altogether?We believe the millennial reign is a literal thousand year period that follows Armageddon, and so the conflict described in Revelation 20:7–10 is a second war. How is it possible if, as we've said in an earlier episode, Gog is the Old Testament concept of Antichrist, and the Beast was thrown in the lake of fire before the thousand years (Rev. 19:20)?Excellent question. To be honest, we don't know. It's possible “Gog” is a title rather than one specific entity. It may also be that because Gog is a spirit being and not a man, the normal rules of life and death don't apply. However, we must admit that amillennialists, who don't believe in a literal thousand-year period of Satan's confinement, would say that the answer is simple: Revelation 20 and Ezekiel 38–39 describe the same war.We disagree, mainly because we find it impossible to believe the world wold be in its present state while Satan is bound and Jesus reigns on Earth.We also discuss the fate of the dead at the Great White Throne Judgment. There appears to be something different about the dead who come from the sea and those given up by Death and Hades. The sea is a biblical symbol of the abyss and primordial chaos (i.e., Leviathan). In Job 26:5–6 we read, “The [Rephaim] tremble under the waters and their inhabitants. Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.” The parallel verses suggest a link between the Rephaim (spirits of the Nephilim destroyed in the Flood) and the sea (the abyss/chaos), and Sheol (place of the dead) and Abaddon (which Derek argued in The Second Coming of Saturn was the Hebrew concept of Tartarus).Note that Job 26:5 in the Septuagint is rendered, “Are not giants brought forth from beneath the water and its neighbors?”In short, we believe Revelation 20:13–14 is not just a description of human dead, but the final judgment of the Nephilim.

THE BOOK OF 1 ENOCH describes journeys by the patriarch to the places of punishment for fallen angels and sinful humans. The author of 1 Enoch described rebellious angels, called “stars of heaven,” as “great mountains… burning with fire.” This is consistent with other descriptions of angels in the ancient Near East as burning mountains (for example, the “stones of fire” in Ezekiel 28:14, 16).  Enoch also describes the “mountain of the dead,” a place with four chambers holding the spirits of the departed—one for the righteous, with a fountain of water, one for sinners, and one for the godless. One chamber is reserved for “them that make suit” (in other words, arguing their cases to Heaven). We also get the names of the seven archangels: Uriel (or Suru'el), who is in charge of the world and Tartarus; Raphael, who oversees the spirits of men; Reuel (or Raguel), who takes vengeance on “the world of the luminaries”; Michael, in charge of “the good ones of the people”; Sariel (or Saraqa'el), in charge of the spirits who sin against the spirit; Gabriel, who is in charge of paradise (Eden) and the serpents (probably the seraphim) and cherubim; and Remiel, who is in charge of “them that rise” (the resurrected?).

Send us a textAfter Jesus died and was placed in the tomb,  His body lay at rest but His spirit descended into the underworld. He first went to the pits of darkness called Tartarus where the angels that sinned in Genesis 6 were confined. He made the proclamation that He had been victorious in His mission to atone for sin and defeat Satan. He then went to Paradise and brought all the Old Testament believers who were waiting there to Heaven.Now, there is no intermediate state for believers. When we are absent from our body we are present with the Lord. It is vital that we understand the chronology of the mission of Jesus and His victory.

Every human being will live forever in one of two places, and the Bible tells us everything we need to know about what happens after we die. Let's walk through what Scripture reveals about the nature of the afterlife, judgment, and how to prepare for the day we take our final breath.Understanding the Biblical Concept of the Afterlife1. Sheol and Hades: The Temporary Realm of the DeadIn the Old Testament, Sheol is described as the “realm of the dead”—a shadowy place where both the righteous and unrighteous awaited judgment. In Greek, the word used is Hades. Jesus gives us a vivid picture of this realm in Luke 16:19-31, telling the story of a rich man in torment and a poor man named Lazarus resting in “Abraham's bosom.”“Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the heavenly banquet. The rich man also died and was buried, and he went to the place of the dead.” (Luke 16:22-23 NLT)This story reveals three key features of Sheol:A place of torment for the unrighteousA place of comfort for the righteousA great chasm separating the two, uncrossable after death (Luke 16:26)Peter refers to another compartment—Tartarus—a gloomy prison for fallen angels awaiting judgment (2 Peter 2:4). This concept shows the complexity of the pre-resurrection afterlife.2. Jesus Changes Everything: The Cross and the Empty TombAfter His death, Jesus didn't just remain in the grave—He descended to the realm of the dead. He told the thief on the cross, “Today you will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43)Peter writes that Jesus “preached to the spirits in prison” (1 Peter 3:19), and Paul echoes that Jesus “led a crowd of captives” to Heaven (Ephesians 4:8). Paradise was emptied and relocated—those who had died in faith now dwell directly in God's presence.“We are... willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:8)Today, believers go straight to be with Jesus. Hades remains only as a place of waiting for the unrighteous dead.3. Gehenna: The Final Destination of JudgmentThe term Gehenna—used frequently by Jesus—refers to the Valley of Hinnom, a site associated with...

There are several important mountains in the area that we today call the Holy Land. Mount Hermon is one of these mountains and has been considered sacred for all of recorded history. This is where the fallen Watchers made their descent, not only from the heavenly realm, but a descent into sin that would land them in chains in Tartarus. The River Jordan's headwaters launch from here, El lived here with his 70 sons and the Grotto of Pan stands at its base. This mountain is not discussed in mainline churches, but it should be, because the ultimate battle started here. Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios

Descend with us into the very depths of hell to witness the most dramatic reversal in cosmic history. This haunting narrative takes you behind enemy lines to experience Easter from an unexpected perspective—the demons who believed they had won.The ancient Christian tradition of the "Harrowing of Hell" comes vividly alive as we hear the voices of darkness celebrating what they believe is their ultimate triumph. "Let the dark heavens ring with our victory," they gleefully proclaim, preparing chains for the crucified Christ who now descends into their realm like countless mortals before him. Their celebration echoes through the "black vaults of Tartarus" as they rejoice that "the so-called light of the world has been extinguished."But something unprecedented occurs—light begins penetrating the darkness. Confusion gives way to terror as the demons witness a figure "cloaked not in shadow, but in fire" whose "face is as the sun before time." The narrative reaches its climactic revelation as the underworld realizes its catastrophic mistake: "The cross was his weapon. His tomb was a trap for us." What appeared to be Christ's defeat was actually the instrument of his victory and death's undoing. As the ancient Easter proclamation declares: "Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death."This powerful retelling invites you to see the Easter story through fresh eyes and contemplate its profound meaning—how light conquers darkness, how apparent defeat transforms into ultimate victory, and how death itself became the doorway to eternal life.
